Niyogyugan Festival

Dolores, Quezon

From the words, “niyog”and”yugyog,” the Niyogyugan Festival combines all the colourful fiestas of Quezon Province like the “Pahiyas” of Lucban, “Arana’t Baluarte” of Gumaca, “Tagultol” of Atimonan, “Maubanog” of Mauban and others. A province-wide celebration that celebrates the “Tree of Life,” Niyogyugan pays tribute to the coconut industry’s glorious past, which bore fruit in the form of lambanog distilleries, oil millers, heritage houses, and the vast resort-plantations.

The provincial government created the NIYOGYUGAN FESTIVAL to move, shake and bring back the vigor and dynamism of the industry and to promote the products, places, the talent and creativity of Quezonians. Crowd-drawing activities such as the Sayaw ng Niyog, Karosa ng Niyog, the Bb. Niyogyugan, and the booth competition add excitement to the Week-long Festival. Source: aliwanfiesta.com.ph
